You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your new credentials. Deleting the account only deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
